3 arrested, marijuana found on boat

Border Patrol agents arrested three men and seized more than 750 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $454,000 Tuesday near Torrey Pines State Beach.

Agents spotted a cabin-style boat about 6:15 a.m. traveling north along the coast off La Jolla. About an hour later, the boat landed near Torrey Pines. Two men, ages 30 and 34, were arrested, said Border Patrol Agent Kurtis M. Woods. Both are citizens of Mexico.

Thirty-two bundles of marijuana were found on the boat, Woods said.

A 37-year-old Mexican citizen who was found waiting in a white van near where the boat landed was arrested for being in the country illegally and on suspicion of being involved in the drug-smuggling attempt.
